Beach Cloudscape VIII, Oil Painting

2022

Artist Comments
Working from observation and imagination, artist Nancy Hughes Miller paints an early morning coastal sky. A cloud moves across the ocean as the sunlight casts pink, orange, and yellow hues. Soft purple shadows gleam under the feathery clouds. Wispy, delicate white tips appear at the edges while bright waves roll ashore.

About the Artist
Reflected in Nancy Hughes Miller’s paintings are the coastal and rural environments of southeastern North Carolina, her birthplace, where she still spends much of her time. As a child, Nancy’s primary education did not include art classes, so she was delighted when one day her oldest brother returned home from college with newsprint and charcoal. She went on to pursue a career path in graphic design and fine arts. Now a full-time artist, Nancy experiments with vibrant colors and fluid forms to create her non-traditional, painterly landscapes. She enjoys working with oils, a medium that dries slowly and lends itself nicely to blending. Nancy strives to produce artwork that is, according to her, “quiet, yet bold.”
